Your people—whether staff or volunteers—are the driving force behind your success. They make everything happen and bring your vision to life.

It’s essential to look after them as they are a precious resource. By supporting and valuing their efforts, you foster a motivated and dedicated team. Providing training, recognition, and a positive environment ensures they can perform at their best. When your team is well-supported, great work follows. Investing in your staff and volunteers creates a strong foundation for growth and success, helping your organisation achieve its goals and make a lasting impact.

Volunteers

Volunteers are essential to making sports groups run smoothly. They help drive success and create a positive environment for participants. To ensure they are well-equipped, volunteers need proper training, including DBS checks and safeguarding protocols. While their work can be challenging, it is also incredibly rewarding. By supporting and empowering volunteers, you enable them to contribute effectively and make a meaningful impact in the community, helping the group thrive and grow.

Your sports group may have paid staff, and it’s crucial to ensure appropriate legal safeguards are in place. This includes implementing clear policies on safeguarding, contracts, and workplace conduct. It’s equally important to look after your coaches, providing them with support, training, and a positive working environment. By prioritising these legal and professional aspects, you create a safe, effective, and supportive space for both staff and volunteers to thrive in their roles.
